The program offers a structured AI/ML foundation with PhD mentors and industry experts, focusing on real-world projects that can be showcased for college applications.
The Research Ignited AI Scholars Program is a 10-week online course designed for high school students to build a strong foundation in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The curriculum covers Python programming, key libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib, and the development of simple machine learning models. Students will gain practical experience in computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and generative AI. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through coding walkthroughs, group activities, and project-based learning, culminating in a personalized capstone project. Students will complete 6-7 mini-projects and a final independent AI project, building a portfolio to showcase their skills. The program also addresses AI ethics, bias, and responsible AI development, equipping students with valuable 21st-century skills for college applications and future careers.
Each 2-hour session includes an interactive lecture on an AI/ML concept, a live coding walkthrough by the instructor, and a guided hands-on project where students complete missing code sections with support and feedback.
This program is ideal for curious high schoolers from all backgrounds, including those with no prior programming experience, who want to explore AI and build AI-powered projects.
